cnbc's mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. mandy, a lawsuit against standard & poor's has been filed. what's that about? >> they're suggesting that s&p ignored their own standards to raise mortgage bonds that imploded in the financial crisis. we know the story well. and at the end of the day, it really cost investors billions of dollars and wreaked a lot of havoc. the civil charges by the u.s. attorney general, eric holder, are the first action against a credit rating firm over the crisis, but s&p said it came out with a statement yesterday and said the government suit is entirely without factual or legal merit and it also denied wrongdoing. so we're just going to have to see how this story unfolds from here, chris. >> and what is going on with gas prices? i was in california overing the weekend, a little sticker shock there. but it's certainly not just there. most expensive ever for this time of year. >> ever, ever. the current average is $3.53 a gallon. that is, of course, the average nationwide. that is up 23 cents from a m

mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. good morning, mandy. >> good morning to you, chris. you're absolutely right. from august, no mail on saturday. but packages will continue six days a week, and it's also aimed at saving about $2 billion annually. so all in all, wouldn't you say a good thing. in australia, we've never had saturday mail and it hasn't hurt us. anyway, why is package delivery going to continue? well, it has increased by 14% since 2010, chris. the delivery of letters and other mail, as you can imagine, has been declining with the increasing use of e-mail. also post offices now open on saturdays will remain open on saturdays. and the postmaster general thinks that most americans are going to take this new schedule in stride and be onboard. let's listen in. >> 70% of americans have consistently said that they would support five-day schedule for mail and package delivery given the financial condition of the postal service. >> and also, keep in mind, you know what the post office's biggest problem is, chris? it
